Nichols House Museum Symposium

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of its founding, the Nichols House Museum is pleased
to present the symposium "Sustaining Heritage, Sustaining Communities: Museums and Historic
Preservation in the 21st Century." On September 30, 2011, five speakers from Europe and the
United States will come together to share experiences from their museums and heritage sites
that have showcased, revived, and sustained their respective communities. Through promoting
cross-cultural understanding in Honduras; reinventing uses for historic British buildings;
preserving and presenting a 17th century church in Amsterdam; conserving a national landmark
in Chicago for social and cultural inclusivity; and boosting heritage tourism in Jamaica,
each case study demonstrates the power sustainability has on a community's heritage and economy.
Please join us for this full day event.
